목적: 근골격계 종물의 진단에 있어 초음파 유도하 생검의 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 3월부터 2003년 8월 사이에 본원 정형외과를 내원한 환자 중 연부조직 종물을 가지는 환자의 진단을 위하여 조직 생검이 필요하였던 5 5명 환자를 대상으로 하여 전향적인 연구를 하였다. 조직검사는 초음파 유도하에서 조직의 채취 부위에 국소마취하에 시행하였으며 14 gauge 또는 18 gauge의 굵은 바늘을 사용하여 5~6개의 조직을 얻을때까지 시행하였다. 통계적인 분석은 임상적으로 치료가 가능하였던 11명의 환자와 수술적 절제 후 조직의 최종 확인이 가능한 38명을 포함하여 49명을 대상으로 하였다. 결과: 불충분한 조직을 얻은 경우나 조직학적 진단이 불가능한 6명의 환자를 제외하고 정확한 진단은 49명의 환자중 47명의 환자에서 얻을 수 있어 정확도는 96%였고 민감도는 90%, 특이도는 100%였다. 전체 55명의 환자중 89%(49명)에서 조직학적 진단이 가능한 충분한 조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 모든 환자에서 특별한 부작용은 없었다. 결론: 초음파 유도하 생검은 연부 조직 종물의 정확한 위치에 바늘을 위치시킬 수 있어 연부조직 종양의 진단이나 골종양의 진단에서 골외 부분이 있는 경우 시행할 수 있는 안전하면서 유용한 방법이라 생각된다.

Background : An area of the skull exposed by burn injury has been covered by various methods including local flap, skin graft, or free flap surgery. Each method has disadvantages, such as postoperative alopecia or donor site morbidities. Due to the risk of osteomyelitis in the injured skull during the expansion period, tissue expansion was excluded from primary reconstruction. However, successful primary reconstruction was possible in burned skull by tissue expansion. Methods : From January 2000 to 2011, tissue expansion surgery was performed on 10 patients who had sustained electrical burn injuries. In the 3 initial cases, removal of the injured part of the skull and a bone graft was performed. In the latter 7 cases, the injured skull tissue was preserved and covered with a scalp flap directly to obtain natural bone healing and bone remodeling. Results : The mean age of patients was $49.9{\pm}12.2$ years, with 8 male and 2 female. The size of the burn wound was an average of $119.6{\pm}36.7cm^2$. The mean expansion duration was $65.5{\pm}5.6$ days, and the inflation volume was an average of $615{\pm}197.6mL$. Mean defect size was $122.2{\pm}34.9cm^2$. The complications including infection, hematoma, and the exposure of the expander were observed in 4 cases. Nonetheless, only 1 case required revision. Conclusions : Successful coverage was performed by tissue expansion surgery in burned skull primarily and no secondary reconstruction was needed. Although the risks of osteomyelitis during the expansion period were present, constant coverage of the injured skull and active wound treatment helped successful primary reconstruction of burned skull by tissue expansion.

본 고는 치위생 임상업무를 수행하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 외상성 치은 손상에 대처하기 위한 방법으로서 조직접착제의 활용 방안에 대해 검토하고자 하였다. 시아노아크릴레이트 조직접착제는 조직 표층의 열창을 기존 봉합법에 의하지 않고 화학물질에 의한 접착 방식으로 폐쇄하기 위한 용도로서 그 동안 구강외과나 치주수술 분야에서 그 응용이 모색되어 왔다. 치과위생사가 치석제거 및 치근활택술 등의 시술 과정에서 부적절하거나 과도한 기구조작에 의해 치은이나 구강점막에 열창이 초래될 수 있다. 이러한 상황에 발생하였을 경우, 조직접착제를 이용하여 열창을 폐쇄하면 매우 효과적이며 단순하고 편리하다. 조직접착제는 n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate로 구성되어 있으며, 조직의 수분과 접촉하면 빠르게 중합되어 접착력을 나타낸다. 조직접착제를 이용한 치은열창의 처치는 그 심미적 결과가 양호하며, 추가적인 조직 손상이 없을 뿐 아니라 시술 방법이 간단하여 시간이 적게 소요된다. 또한 국소마취가 필요치 않으며, 창상 소독이나 봉합사 제거를 위해 환자가 다시 내원하지 않아도 되는 등의 여러 임상적 장점이 있다. 창상의 감염 방지나 지혈 작용 등에도 효과적이다. 조직접착제는 치위생 임상에서 발생할 수 있는 조직손상에 대한 처치법으로서 환자나 치과위생사 모두에게 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

심장외막지방(epicardial adipose tissue, EAT)은 여러 호르몬을 분비하는 대사활성 내분비 기관으로 지방의 두께증가는 심혈관질환이나 대사질환의 위험인자이다. 본 연구는 초음파를 이용하여 대상군의 심장외막 지방두께와 복부피하지방두께를 측정한 후 일반적 특성 및 혈액학적 특성과의 상관관계를 분석하고 대사질환의 예측을 위한 지방두께를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 대상자의 심장외막지방두께의 평균은 각 단면도에서 각각 8.890mm, 4.783mm, 4.777mm, 6.147mm로 측정되었다. 각 단면에서 심장외막지방두께평균과 위험인자와의 상관관계에서는 나이, BMI, 수축기혈압, LDH, LDL, TC가 양의 상관관계(p<0.05)를 나타냈다. 특히 대사질환의 위험인자를 가지고 있는 대상자가 위험인자를 가지고 있지 않은 대상자에 비하여 심장외막지방두께 및 복부피하지방의 두께가 유의(p<0.05)하게 높게 나타났다. EAT1에서 측정한 심장외막지방 두께 8.950 mm에서 대사질환의 위험을 예측할 수 있는 민감도 66.7 %, 특이도 80 %를 보여 가장 신뢰성 있는 cut off value를 나타냈다.

Purpose: Substantial tissue necrosis after snake bites requiring coverage with flap surgery is extremely rare. In this article, we report 7 cases of soft tissue defects in the upper and the lower extremities caused by snake bites, which needed to be covered with flaps. Among the vast mass of publications on snake bites there has been no report that focuses on flap coverage of soft tissue defects due to snake bite sequelae. Methods: Seven cases of soft tissue defects with tendon, ligament, or bone exposure after snake bites were included. All patients were males without comorbidities, the average age was 35 years. All of them required coverage with a flap. In 6 cases, the defect was localized on the upper extremity, in one case the lesion was on the lower extremity. Local flaps were used in 6 cases, one case was covered with a free flap. The surgical procedures included one kite flap, one cross finger flap and digital nerve reconstruction with a sural nerve graft, one reverse proximal phalanx island flap, one groin flap, one adipofascial flap, one neurovascular island flap, and one anterolateral thigh free flap. The average interval from injury to flap surgery was 23.7 days. Results: All flaps survived without complication. All patients regained a good range of motion in the affected extremity. Donor site morbidities were not observed. The case with digital nerve reconstruction recovered a static two point discrimination of 7 mm. The patient with foot reconstruction can wear normal shoes without a debulking procedure. Conclusion: The majority of soft tissue affection after snake bites can be treated conservatively. Some severe cases, however, may require the coverage with flap surgery after radical debridement, especially, if there is exposure of tendon, bone or neurovascular structures. There is no doubt that definite coverage should be performed as soon as possible. But we also want to point out that this principle must not lead to a premature coverage. If the surgeon is not certain that the wound is free of necrotic tissue or remnants of venom, it is better to take enough time to get a proper wound before flap surgery in order to obtain a good functional and cosmetic result.

Purpose: In extensive deep burn of the lower limb, due to less amount of soft tissue, bone is easily exposed. When it happens, natural healing or reconstruction with skin graft only is not easy. Local flap is difficult to success, because adjacent skins are burnt or skin grafted tissues. Muscle flap or free flap are also limited and has high failure rate due to deep tissue damage. The authors acquired good outcome by performing one - stage operation on bone exposed soft tissue defect with AlloDerm$^{(R)}$(LifeCell, USA), an acellular dermal matrix producted from cadaveric skin. Methods: We studied 14 bone exposed soft tissue defect patients from March 2002 to March 2009. Average age, sex, cause of burn, location of wound, duration of admission period, and postoperative complications were studied. We removed bony cortex with burring, until conforming pinpoint bone bleeding. Then rehydrated AlloDerm$^{(R)}$(25 / 1000 inches, meshed type) was applicated on wound, and thin split thickness(6 ~ 8 / 1000 inches) skin graft was done at the immediately same operative time. Results: Average age of patients was 53.6 years(25 years ~ 80 years, SD = 16.8), and 13 patients were male(male : female = 13 : 1). Flame burn was the largest number. (Flame burn 6, electric burn 3, contact burn 4, and scalding burn 1). Tibia(8) was the most affected site. (tibia 8, toe 4, malleolus 1, and metatarsal bone 1). Thin STSC with AlloDerm$^{(R)}$ took without additional surgery in 12 of 14 patients. Partial graft loss was shown on four cases. Two cases were small in size under $1{\times}1cm$, easily healed with simple dressing, and other two cases needed additional surgery. But in case of additional surgery, granulation tissue has easily formed, and simple patch graft on AlloDerm$^{(R)}$ was enough. Average duration of admission period of patients without additional surgery was 15 days(13 ~ 19 days). Conclusion: AlloDerm$^{(R)}$ and thin split thickness skin graft give us an advantage in short surgery time and less limitations in donor site than flap surgery. Postoperative scar is less than in conventional skin graft because of more firm restoration of dermal structure with AlloDerm$^{(R)}$. We propose that AlloDerm$^{(R)}$ and thin split thickness skin graft could be a solution to bone exposured soft tissue defects in extensive deep burned patients on lower extremities, especially when adjacent tissue cannot be used for flap due to extensive burn.

A new restoration method of chest X -ray image (dual project filter) was proposed to improve SNR(signal to noise ratio) characteristics. In this method, a priori Information of system and anatomical structure and statistics of projected object are used in the design of filter. Dual projection filter varies its parameters, adapting to the local regions of chest(lung region, mediasternum, subdiaphragm) and the structure of chest (bone, tissue, blood vessel, bronchia). The performance of Dual Projection Filter was 0.1-0.2dB better than Dual Sensor Wiener Filter, which was used for initial estimate of Dual Porjection Filter.

Lipomas is one of the most common benign neoplasm in the body, but only rarely occurs in the oral cavity We report here a case of a 49-year-old female with a lipoma of palatine tonsil. Microscopical examination revealed a stromal neoplasm composed of mature fat with the presence of a few thin and anastomosing fibrous septa. The surface epithelium was of nonkeratinizing stratified squamous type. There was the dense fibrous connective tissue between mature fat and surface epithelium. The histopathologic findings and literature on tonsillar lipoma is reviewed.
